Pancreatic cancer is expected to become the second deadliest cancer in the United States by 2030. It is tough to cure because it is usually not discovered until it has reached an advanced stage. But a new...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) typically has nonspecific symptoms and is often found too late to treat. Because diagnosis of PDAC involves complex, invasive, and expensive procedures, screening populations at increased risk will depend on...

To study the inhomogeneity within a cell population including exosomes properties such as exosome secretion rate of cells and surface markers carried by exosomes, we need to quantify and characterize those exosomes secreted by each individual cell. Researchers from the ...

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new blood test that could detect cancer — and locate where in the body the tumor is growing. The study could provide a way to diagnose cancer early on ...

Blood-based neuronally-derived exosomes carry tell-tale proteins that could help forecast transition from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine say tiny micro-vesicle structures used by neurons and other cells to transport ...

To understand the inhomogeneity of cells in biological systems, there is a growing demand on the capability of characterizing the properties of individual single cells. Since single-cell studies require continuous monitoring of the cell behaviors, an effective single-cell assay that ...

from GenomeWeb by Madeleine Johnson NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have been awarded funding to develop a panel of extracellular RNA biomarkers for non-invasive glioma brain tumor diagnosis. The research is being conducted ...

Analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from plasma or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has emerged as a promising biomarker platform for therapeutic monitoring in glioblastoma patients. However, the contents of the various subpopulations of EVs in these clinical specimens remain poorly ...

We have an open position for postdoctoral trainee in the lab of Dr. Robert Rissman in the Department of Neurosciences at UCSD. Candidate needs to have a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience or other related biological science area. Candidate needs to show ...
